Police have charged two people with robbery. They will be in court Friday to answer to those charges.

The victim is hoping for justice. Now, she's also looking to get back that sense of security she lost, but that, she said, may never happen.

"Nobody sees how much pain I go through when I get up and when I go to bed," said the victim, Tenessa Gentry.

Every day, Gentry struggles to move past what happened along the path just a short distance from her apartment. She had gotten off the bus at her usual stop along Preston Highway. That day, two other people got off the bus, too.

"(I was) just walking down the same street, thinking we're going to the same apartment complex," said Gentry.

But according to police, 18-year-old Melicia Smiley and 22-year-old Christopher Ewing weren't going home, they were following Gentry home.

"I turn around (and) he has a gun to my face," said Gentry.

Gentry was told to drop her purse, but she refused. She said the pair began beating and kicking her.

"I'm like, 'He's going to shoot me,'" said Gentry.

Silently, she began praying for help.

"Nobody, nobody come through at all," said Gentry.

She said Ewing began to beat her with a 9mm handgun.

"I went black for a second," said Gentry.

The pair took her purse and took off. Ewing was gone but Smiley didn't make it far. Gentry ran after her, knowing she didn't have the gun, yelling to neighbors to call for help. Smiley was arrested, and a few days later, Ewing was too.

"I didn't do anything to them at all, I'm the sweetest person in the world," said Gentry.

Gentry is still trying to figure out why, but more importantly, how to move forward:

"I just, I don't know, I'm just taking it a day at a time," said Gentry.

At the time of the attack, in October, Gentry was a student at Jefferson Community College.

She said she's afraid to ride the bus and walk home, so for this semester, she has put her dreams of a college education on hold.

Police said the attackers got away with $320, the Gentry's cellphone and debit card. Nothing was ever recovered.
